I Drink Alone



BY GEORGE THOROGOOD AND THE DESTROYERS



I drink alone, yeah,
with nobody else
I drink alone, yeah,
with nobody else
You know when I drink alone,
I prefer to be by myself

Every morning just before breakfast,
I don't want no coffee or tea
Just me and my good buddy Wiser,
that's all I ever need
'Cause I drink alone, yeah,
with nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone,
I prefer to be by myself

The other night I laid sleeping,
and I woke from a terrible dream
So I called up my pal Jack Daniel's,
and his partner Jimmy Beam
And we drank alone, yeah,
with nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone,
I prefer to be by myself

The other day I got invited to a party,
but I stayed home instead
Just me and my pal Johnny Walker,
and his brothers Blackie and Red
And we drank alone, yeah,
with nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone,
I prefer to be by myself

My whole family done give up on me,
and it makes me feel oh so bad
The only one who will hang out with me,
is my dear old granddad
And we drink alone, yeah,
with nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone,
I prefer to be by myself

I have a little ritual for my post-marathon shower. Three beers... one while I'm peeling off my sweat drenched clothes... and TWO in the shower. grin. V.

I like my beer in the shower, too, Jen. ;-) Excellent idea for a comp and for this rockin' song. :) Watch out for window peepers. In Texas, we keep a shotgun near our showers... and our beers. :-)

Great work, Jen, sad lyrics show a lot of people's lonely lives.

If you don't start drinking - I'm going to leave !!

Went to see GT this year in the UK - what a showman! Such fun and I was playing/singing the songs for days. Apparently, GT is the favoured music for sheep -shearers in Australia!! LOL

Great pic - this is pure decadence! Big Vote!

Santa Claus is coming to town...

...and he prefers Merlot or a good Cabernet Sauvignon.

O . . . MY . . . . well, then . . let's see what I have on hand . . . .

I love your composition just as much as I enjoyed the lyrics.
Guest 17-Dec-2006 03:18
ha haaaaa

I got one sort of on the same idea...coming up
Dave Wixx17-Dec-2006 03:11
This made me think of,

"Don't you know you've got your Daddy's eyes
And your Daddy was an alcoholic
But your mother kept it all inside
Threw it all away

I was looking for another you
And I found another one
I was looking for another you
When I looked round you were gone

Stay by my side
And the pipe dream is yours now
Stay by my side
And the singer won't get in our way

Don't you know you've got your Daddy's eyes
And your Daddy was an alcoholic
But your mother kept it all inside
Threw it all away

I was looking for another you
And I found another one
I was looking for another you
When I looked round you were gone

Stay by my side
And the pipe dream is yours now
Stay by my side
And the cynics won't get in our way

Don't you know you've got your Daddy's eyes
And your Daddy was an alcoholic
But your mother kept it all inside
Threw it all away
I was looking for another chance
To see your blue eyed problem"

Now you have to figure out the group!!

I do hope this was this evening as opposed to this morning!

Swigging the Coors in the shower. What a gal!
But that undelines the sentiment of the lyrics well.
